Hi, thanks for responding so quickly. I followed your steps, but there seems to be no response from the Tablet. No lights, no connection recognized.

Are you able to keep the Table on wall charge for an hour before attempting the task? Also make sure when doing the repair that you do not have the device connected, it must be disconnected until it asks you to hold down the down volume key while inserting the USB cable.
Make sure to continue holding the Down Volume key, as PC Companion will tell you when to let go.

If you are using PC Companion it doesn’t matter, the selection you choose simply dictates what instructions are provided, the firmware is based on what the program detects regarding the hardware connected.

My tablet shut off last night out of no where. The battery had a full charge. I set it down for 30 mins and it was dead. The power did not do anything. No lights would turn or anything. This morning however, I held the up volume button and power. I got a sign of life and the tablet rebooted. Its on now and functioning perfectly. This will be something I will keep my eye out for tho.
